I should never be allowed to write death scenes. I ended up writing my character, Warne, having been stabbed in the back(not literally, the sword pierced his abdomen. I mean he was betrayed) by…someone. He’s dying in the place where the used to love, that he dreams of during the war. Tall grass and blooming flowers make a sort of halo around his broken and bloodied body. He lies on his back, eyes fluttering shut and closed, watching the bright sun above. He gazes at the just visible stars. The Valley of Time was a truly beautiful place. 
          	Blood pools around him, shattering the innocence of the scene. For one could think he was merely resting, a boy sated after a day of play. Rainbows dance over his skin, painting his bare arms and high cheekbones like fine art. 
          	The scene is ethereal, and poetic. The irony of how such a life shall end in the very place where it began. 
          	Tragedy is most often beautiful, we weep, for no one is allowed to see it.

Why does my brain do this to me? 
          I just got an idea for a story, probably more of a novella or long short story. 
          ‘Arm Candy’
          Basically one MC is the new owner of a candy shop and needs ‘arm candy’ for the big opening party. Enter other MC. 
          You know the rest. 
          
          It’s so cheesy and stupid. Why???

Again with writing your first draft, ignore any new writing advice. Seriously. You’re going to spend too much time trying to find new advice and never get to actually writing. Then your writing style is going to change…
          Just write with what you already know. Trust me, my writing feels so much more authentic when I’m not trying to change my writing. 
          Just get it down. Learn how to be better the next time.

When writing your first draft, don’t edit. Don’t. Just put it down. You can rewrite it later. Just get it down and have the basic idea in your head. You know what’s supposed to happen but don’t have to edit it word by word.

Out of everyone here, how many of y’all are writers? And if so, how many would like for me to do a daily writing tip or something of the sort?

Write immediately when you feel like it. Pour everything out with your extra energy. When you go back to check your writing later, it would look ridiculous or something, but edit it and yeah. I do not like writing a chapter all in one day, unless I am rushed, or genuinely excited. I hate to be rushed, and that's a lesson I learn from.
